The company often compares itself to Palantir or Snowflake, yet compensation is less than half of what those firms offer for similar roles. Day-to-day work is affected by heavy micromanagement from middle management and a rigid top-down culture that leaves little room for autonomy. For English-only speakers in Japan, growth opportunities are limited due to strong groupism and cultural bias.

Leadership is full of themselves, and there is no communication and transparency. On top of that, the benefits package is fairly underwhelming compared to industry standards.
